Ingredients:
- 500g of potatoes
- 2 tablespoons of corn flour
- 1 tablespoon of cheese powder
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
Instructions:
- Prep the Potatoes: Start by peeling and chopping your potatoes into thin strips. Aim for a consistent size to ensure even cooking.
- Boil Briefly: Bring a pot of water to a boil and add your potato strips. Let them boil for 3 minutes. This step starts the cooking process and ensures a soft interior.
- Cool Down: Immediately after boiling, transfer the potato strips to a bowl of cold water. This stops the cooking process and helps to crisp up the fries later.
- First Fry: Heat your cooking oil to 140°C in a deep fryer or a deep pan. Fry the potato strips in batches for 3 minutes. They won’t be fully cooked yet – this stage is just to start the crisping process.
- Cool Again: Remove the fries from the oil and let them cool completely. This rest period allows the interior to cook through without burning the outside.
- Second Fry: Once cooled, fry the potatoes again for another 3 minutes. This second dip in the hot oil will give you that golden, crispy exterior.
- Season: In a large bowl, mix the corn flour, cheese powder, and chili powder. Add the hot, freshly fried potatoes to the bowl and toss until they are well coated with the seasoning.
Serve your Crispy Cheese and Chili French Fries hot and crispy, with your favorite dipping sauce on the side. This recipe not only delivers on flavor but also brings a satisfying crunch that makes it impossible to have just one. Enjoy the perfect blend of spicy, cheesy, and crispy in each bite!
